Whip up eggs with a few simple ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and you have the makings of a breakfast that’s prepped, seasoned and will be ready to eat in a little more than a minute before running out the door. If you don’t want to store the mixture in individual mugs, you can store it in an airtight container then transfer to a mug when you’re ready to cook it.
Mango-Turmeric Smoothie

Kick-start your mornings with this speedy smoothie packed with tropical fruit flavors. Its lively yellow hue is boosted by anti-inflammatory turmeric. Grate fresh turmeric with a microplane grater or use ground turmeric in its place. Ginger provides a zesty kick, but feel free to omit it for a milder flavor.
Feta, Egg & Spinach Breakfast Taco

It doesn’t get easier than this healthy breakfast taco that’s ready in just five minutes. Kale or arugula will work just as well if you don’t have spinach on hand. If you want an over-hard egg instead, and notice the egg is browning too quickly, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to help steam the egg and set the yolk faster.
Oatmeal with Fruit & Nuts

This protein-packed healthy breakfast gets a touch of sweetness from apple and crunch from walnuts. Feel free to pick your favorite fruit (try berries or pears) and nuts (maybe almonds or pistachios) to personalize your healthy oatmeal.
Anti-Inflammatory Cherry, Beet & Kale Smoothie

Kale, cherries and beets team up in this powerful anti-inflammatory smoothie. All three of these fruits and veggies contain unique anti-inflammatory compounds that may help stave off diseases associated with chronic inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. The cherries help sweeten the smoothie and add a fruity flavor. If you opt for tart cherries, you can balance the tanginess with a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
This healthy smoothie has all the flavor of a pumpkin spice latte without all the sugar. Made with real pumpkin and frozen banana, this whips into a creamy, luscious grab-&-go breakfast (or snack) in just 5 minutes.
Pesto Breakfast Sandwich

This vibrant green veggie pesto sandwich is the perfect way to get your day started. This 10-minute breakfast features microgreens, which are young vegetable sprouts harvested just after the first true leaves develop. If you can’t find microgreens, alfalfa sprouts or chopped baby lettuce can be used in their place.
Cherry-Berry Smoothie Bowl
EatingWell
This healthy smoothie bowl features three of the best foods to eat to reduce inflammation: tart cherry juice, spinach and avocado. If you don’t have spinach on hand, swap in another dark leafy green. This smoothie bowl provides 18 grams of fiber—enough to help keep you full until lunchtime.
Spinach & Fried Egg Grain Bowls
Wheat berries, a nutty-tasting whole grain with a pleasantly chewy texture, are the base of this hearty breakfast bowl. The fiber-rich grain freezes very well, so cook up a batch to stash away for salads, bowls and more. Topped with spinach, peanuts and an egg, these bowls make for a satisfying breakfast. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for extra heat.
Anti-Inflammatory Breakfast Smoothie

This mango green smoothie gets bright tart flavor from frozen passion fruit, and inflammation-fighting benefits from fresh kale. Dates add natural sweetness without added sugar. While cilantro may not be a typical smoothie ingredient, we love the herbal notes it adds to this smoothie. Feel free to leave it out if that’s not your thing—it’s just as delicious without.
Apple & Peanut Butter Toast
A pinch of ground cardamom punches up the flavor in this classic combo of apples and peanut butter on toast.
Anti-Inflammatory Beet Smoothie
This vibrant beet smoothie combines sweet and earthy beets with berries, banana and orange juice for a well-balanced flavor. Look for packaged cooked beets where the prepared fruits and vegetables are sold. Beets are high in belatins, an antioxidant that may help decrease inflammation in the body. Other nutrient-packed ingredients add even more anti-inflammatory power, like the anthocyanins in blueberries and the gingerol found in ginger.
Mushroom Omelet
For a quick breakfast, learn how to make this mushroom omelet. Sautéing the mushrooms with garlic adds a punch of flavor.
Cauliflower Oatmeal
A breakfast cereal made from a cruciferous vegetable sounds a little far-fetched but you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this warm and cozy dish! Flavored with cinnamon, vanilla and just a touch of sweetness, it’s a nutritious alternative to a grain-based bowl that adds a serving of vegetables to your morning meal.
Chickpea & Kale Toast
This healthy toast combines chickpeas, kale and feta for a savory bite.
Mango & Kale Smoothie
The blend of kale, mango, banana and orange juice gives this healthy smoothie an extra-fresh and tropical flavor profile.
Smoked Salmon, Egg & Pickled Beet Bagel Sandwich
This veggie-packed Scandinavian-style riff on a lox bagel adds cucumbers, pickled beets and fresh dill for flavor and crunch.
10-Minute Spinach Omelet
This delicious spinach omelet is ready in just 10 minutes for a nutritious breakfast. Eggs and cheese help pack it with protein, while fresh dill boosts its flavor.
Carrot-Apple Smoothie
This carrot and apple smoothie is creamy and has a light tropical flavor thanks to coconut milk. It’s naturally sweetened from the carrots and apple, and the combination of ginger and lemon juice adds just a bit of spice and helps balance the flavor. The turmeric, fresh or dried, gives the smoothie a vibrant bright orange color.
Pecan Butter & Pear Toast
For a quick breakfast or snack, try this three-ingredient toast. Pecan butter adds a nutty flavor, which gets balanced by the natural sweetness of the pear.
